Fun Factor!!

Hello All

Just picked up my Pepper White 2007 MCS!! I might need surgery to remove the coke cola smile off my face!! This car is sooooo much fun to drive. This is my third car in 18 months. I started out with a C32 AMG (349HP - Supercharged) which was just awesome in a straight line. Then I moved onto a B6 S4 (340HP) which was not as fast as the AMG but cornered better. Now I'm the proud owner of a Mini!! No the MCS is not a 340+HP car but boy is it fun to drive.

I plan on autoX'ng and tracking my new ride ASAP.

LET THE MODS BEGIN!!

Thanks

Congratulations. I have never driven anything that is anymore fun to drive then one of these. And I am certain it is even going to be even more fun with an additional 25 to 50 Hp with future mods. Enjoy the ride.
ps Nice color choice

You will LOVE the car (even more than today) as you continue to get used to it, plus adding a handful of ALTA performance products will certainly make the grin last longer! Good luck and happy motoring!

Hey.. Where did you have your lowers painted? And how much did it cost? Thats one of the very first mods I want to do. I think the car looks awesome with painted lowers.

I think there will be a 3" exhaust w/downpipe in my future.

I had Sublime Restorations do mine. They did an excellent job matching the paint. http://www.sublimerestorations.com/index.html
